<TITLE>03. Par 9-13</TITLE>L-9 And let's just search back. If that isn't Scriptural, then leave it alone. If I ever say anything in your presence, as a doctrine or a teaching, that's not in the Bible, forget it, because it's not right. And if the--any angel (I don't care how real he looks, and how inspired he is), if he speaks contrary to the Word of God, leave him alone. He's not of God. Galatians 1:8 said, "An angel from heaven preach any other doctrine than this is, what already taught, let him be accursed." We don't--We don't take nothing but just what God...

L-10 Now, we find out that in the Bible, when God led the children of Israel across the wilderness... (Now, I'm not taking Brother Brown's time, I hope.) But when...
I know it's hard, setting there under a strain. And a minister should be off in a room somewhere, and walk right before his congregation, out of the sweetness of God, and--and alone studying. And I know it's hard.

L-11 So when God led the children of Israel from Egypt... Remember the Angel of the Covenant was a Pillar of Fire. We all know that. That was the Angel of the Covenant. And we know that that was Jesus Christ. And we find out that Moses forsook Egypt, esteemed the reproach of Christ greater riches than that which Pharaoh could offer him in Egypt.
We find out when this Angel was made manifest, that He was the Son of God. He stood on the earth. We know the works that He did when He was here on earth. We find out that His--He was to be the Messiah, and the Messiah had a sign that would follow the Messiah. And that was the sign of the prophet, as Israel was always taught to believe their prophets. When He was here, He said, "I come from God, and I go to God."

L-12 After His death, burial, and resurrection, Paul was on his road down to Damascus. And on his road down, he was stricken down by a Light, Pillar of Fire. Now, remember, first it was a Pillar of Fire, then was made flesh, then returned back to God. And now, here Paul sees it. None of the rest of them saw it: just Paul.
You know, you can see things many times that others don't have nothing--can't see it at all. Those soldiers, or ever who was it was, temple guards that were with Paul, did not see that Light. But it was so real to Paul till It put his eyes out. And Paul cried out, said... he said... First, the voice said from the Pillar of Fire, said, "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me?"
And he said, "Who are You, Lord?"
And He said, "I'm Jesus, and it's hard for you to kick against the pricks." How many ever read that? Sure.

L-13 Then He had been in the Spirit, made manifest in flesh to take away sins, God; returned back to God, Spirit. And now, when they take this picture today, with us, the people of the Lord, and It's the same Pillar of Fire...
Now, the only way It can be proven that It's the same Pillar of Fire, It'll do the same works if It is the same Pillar of Fire, the Spirit of God. Jesus said, "A little while and the world seeth Me no more. Yet ye shall see Me, for I will be with you, even in you, to the end of the world." Hebrews 13:8 said, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." Then if this Spirit doesn't produce the Life of Christ, then it isn't the Spirit of God.
